@guitarplaya1234 I wish I could make a FAQ at the top specifically for this question. It depends on your ability as a mechanic. Technically its not much different from an old school 350 motor. However it has a bunch of newer technology parts that make it twice as expensive to build! If u have money to throw around... BUY AN LS1. Doing wiring to hookup the ecu to the old ecu is the hard part. I paid someone to have that done.
@justinquaker You sir are the greatest troll in history, if your not I feel very sorry for you that my comment make you so upset u feel the need to comment on something you havn't the slightest clue on. Good day to you sir.
OMG! That thing sounds sexy as fuh. Really can't wait for mine. I'm replacing the LT1 longblock in my ride with a new one. It's already got K&N intake, longtube headers, catless y-pipe, and Magnaflow catback. I can't wait to get it all done.
I really gotta know man, I have an 89 Iroc stock, but i really need a new engine and was leanin towards an lt1 or ls1 swap. how much did the parts end up costing you?
@Tyler041390 If I had the cash I woulda have done an LS swap, alot more expensive than LT. You best best is just to build a general 350 carb motor, lotta power, easy to build and alot cheaper than LT or LS
Nice man, how much money have you put into it so far? I got a 92 with an L98; wish mine sounded half as good as yours. I got a video of it on my page, but like I said wish mine was half as cool as yours. Waiting for my horn to come in so i can get it legal and start making some videos with it. One quick question, can you tell me where the horn(s) go? When i bought the car it didnt come with any. I thought they went by the license plate but from what i can see thats where some lights go.
@ubcs109 Hey man, nice car. Ive never had to mess with my horn but upon doing a quick Google search it says that there is a horn behind the battery in the fender & on the opposite side also in the same spot.
@IrocZGuy87 Hey thanks for your help. I found where you were talking about and got them installed. Took it to get it inspected; failed the emmissions test. The guy said he will pass me for an extra $60. Hopefully I get some videos up by Saturday. No promises though lol. Thanks for your help again. Sorry for the late reply.
@dacraze1 lol, as I have posted on my page. Post some videos of your own car or don't talk please & thank you. Car is tuned great, don't know what your talking about. Please stop being ignorant, I can tell all you do is bash other people's videos. Grow Up.
i have a 1992 rs convertible it has the 305 tbi, i really wanna fix this car any ideas into what engine mods i should do or engine swap? i want more hp around 400 :)
305 motors really arent worth putting the money into. But if you are planning a motor swap, you need to remember 2 things. Make sure the car is actually worth restoring and modding and 2 You need a good chunk of change to get started. Lets say at least 5 grand right off the bat on the motor alone. Thats not including labor costs, electrical, and all the extras.
@IrocZGuy87 yeah i need an lt1 like the one you have here, i have 6 g's to fix it but it needs interior as well as exterior fixing (Paint, seats and door panels) so in that sense you might be right, its just that i love that body style maybe i should buy one that already looks decent, it'll probably be cheaper....thanks for the tips....love the sound of that car
Not even looking at a motor swap, there's a lot more involved then just 400hp. RS trannys aren't meant to handle that much power along with the rear end, and the suspension will become flemsy even on simple launches. If the #'s on the motor match the car, I'd say fix the motor up which should allow money for the rest of the car. My biggest concern is 400hp in a convertible, that's a death wish. 300hp and you'll still have trouble affording tires, lol.
I've said before, rebilding an LT1 motor is almost the same as any other 350, Get your self a manual and start reading. The wiring is the difficult part, you can pay to have it done. Doing it yourself with require a lot of knowledge about schematics and electronics. I had it done.
this camaro sounds amazing..I have a '87 iroc with a stock 305 in it and i waz wondering how to get that sound but keepin it street leagal. without a classic plate ect.
Uses a Rectangle shaped port I believe. I dont believe so, We've determined that its oil burning and its most likely a valve seal or a valve guide inside the head. Lotta work to do this winter.
LT1 heads are D ports, are they long tube headers? If so what brand/size of primaries or part number? I am looking into doing this swap and am kinda stuck on what long tubes to run.. I dont want to spend near a grand for hawks headers for it.
how hard was the LT1 swap?? I'm thinking about swapping one out of a buick roadmaster into my 'maro

i got a question though when u dropped the lt1 in what other motor swap did you consider?
perhaps an ls1?
